- 64bit userland is not yet supported

Actually, the kernel supports it quite happily. There's a 64 bit mini library that will build static ELF64 user binaries that I used to debug support when I added it.

What's missing is:

- 64 bit gcc that will build DSO's
- 64 bit glibc

I forgot perhaps we should add:

- Multiple stub sections for the 64-bit linker.

Which will probably be the next project after TLS/NPTL/FUTEX. Binutils elf64-hppa needs a good cleanup.

Thank you all (Carlos, James, Kyle etc.) for your input!

I'll add a wiki page in the next couple of days that will contain a (hopefully regulary updated) list of things that are "known broken", "being worked on" and "probably never supported" in the p-l kernel.

- 64 bit gcc that will build DSO's

This isn't really an accurate description of what's missing. GCC doesn't build DSO's itself. GCC lacks libtool and various config files for 64-bit parisc-linux. However, very little is missing for C support.

Although GNU ld is somewhat broken, it should be able to build 64-bit DSO's with the support that's presently there. That's assuming we keep the same runtime as hpux (ok, there are some symbol predefines and elf issues that probably need looking at).

What stops building DSO's at the moment is

/usr/bin/hppa64-linux-ld: crti.o: No such file: No such file or directory

This is a glibc file.

In reply to a message not in the archive

Hello Max,

Btw, may be am i wrong, but afaik for 64bit HUGETLB_PAGE could also be a wished support?

Also ccio and ncr53c8xx (for ncr53c720) are not yet 64bit complient (well not not my d380)

Thanks,
Joel
